Thin phones are in, and Motorola doesn’t want to miss out. It’s teasing the imminent launch of the X70 Air in China, a slim phone with an unexpectedly big battery, which we’re expecting to see launch in Europe as the Edge 70 soon too.
The X70 Air is less than 6mm thick, putting it in the same territory as the 5.6mm iPhone Air and 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge, and weighs just 159g. Despite that, its 4,800mAh battery is far larger than either of those phones’, which will be a big part of its appeal. It’s not a small phone otherwise, with a 6.7-inch display, and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset won’t deliver flagship power, but it’s likely to cost a good deal less than the Samsung and Apple phones.
The X70 Air goes on sale in China on October 31st, while Motorola is teasing an Edge phone launch in Europe for November 5th which is likely the same model.
